Tampa Reunion 2015

[-BT-]

my "in" has nothing but good news..... we can get max 4 rooms between 2 hotels in OLDSMAR, at AWESOME prices. BUT he says he's not sure how long the prices will last.

tentative head count on who NEEDS a room, and is fairly certain they will in the Box De Bigs come the last week in February?????

starting to come together pepper!!!

Excellent!! You can easily make the first race now and get your first dated nickel action of the weekend.

Arrive Tampa at noon Tuesday Feb 24th
Leave Tampa 10:30 Mon March 2

Round trip direct flights plus rental car is gonna run me $387

I figure most everyone will come in on Wednesday or Thursday.

In regards to the hotel, I need some opinions. There are a couple decent ones rignt down the road from the track. Holiday Inn express is $139/night. I don't know how you guys feel about 3 to a room, but if we did that, after taxes it would be $50-$55 a night. Those that would prefer just 2 to a room, by all means. Depending on how many make the trip, a 2nd rental would maybe be a smart idea.

Talk to me.

You gotta be kidding me. I go to book this a little bit ago and now Southwest is telling me this package is now $714. F*ck off.

WHOA!!! I'm not 100% certain, but I think I have just slipped into a time warp??? Nice Avatar!

Not recommending, just saying, it's about a 6 hour drive from Cary to Jacksonville, then another 3 from here to Tampa. Give or take....

Fear the mullet...

That's just too much driving for me. My back can't hack it.

I'm thinking once i get a good head count, I may make some inquiries into booking a few rooms all at the same joint. I feel like most everybody knows each other well enough that we can double up and split room costs. That's more money for some exacta back wheels at the dog track. Priorities, ya know...
